Almond Crisp Cookies

January 14, 2015

It’s no secret by now that I have an obsession with almond. Almond flavored anything beacons me from a mile radius ;)

These Almond Crisp Cookies are so simple! They are made with Puff Pastry and are both soft and crispy and packed with that DELICIOUS almond flavor, using both almond extract and finely ground almonds themselves.

The Glaze. It is SO good! Almond flavoring just seems to add something magical and special to frosting if you ask me. The heavy cream makes it thicker and creamier, but you can easily sub that out for milk for a lower calorie count or if its simply what you have on hand.

These are a quick and easy treat to whip up when you need something to fix your sweet tooth!

These cookies are so simple and the perfect quick sweet tooth fix! They are delicious!

Ingredients

1 package puff pastry (2 sheets)

8 ounces almond paste

¾ cup sugar

1 egg

½ cup finely ground almond

⅔ cup coarse sugar

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

3 to 4 Tablespoons heavy cream

½ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

Thaw puff pastry according to package directions.

In medium bowl combine almond paste, sugar and egg. Beat for five minutes until smooth.

Unfold one pastry sheet on a lightly floured workspace. Roll out to a 10 x 14 in rectangle. Spread half the filling evenly over rectangle. Sprinkle half of the almonds over the top. Roll up pastry evenly from both short ends until both ends meet in the middle.

Cover dough with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour. Repeat this process with the other pastry sheet.

How do you evenly spread the almond paste, egg, sugar? It was almost impossible for me to do this. I used an offset spatula sprayed with coconut oil spray. It only helped a little. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks so much, CC
